Little Labels, Big Difference

Each time you grab that shopping cart and step into that grocery store aisle, you have a chance to make a difference for people and the planet.

Four of the most recognized certification labels in the United States have joined together to help you shop your values. We believe in your right to know what’s in the food you share with your family and how it’s produced and traded.

When you see any of these labels, you can be assured that an independent organization has audited and checked that the product meets strict standards – whether it’s fairly traded, responsible fishing practices, better treatment of workers, or GMO free.

Put your values into action for the planet and the people producing your favorite items.
